President Cleveland has departed

President Cleveland has departed
from the conventional style OF annual
executive messages, and given to
congress a brief document confined
exclusively to one subiect-the public
finances. lie has taken bold stand
and forced an issue into the next
campaign which promises to over
shadow all others. He has placed
both feet upon free-trade platform,
and has announced, by implication,
his own leadership. The message is
vigorous, and should be carefully
read by every Que, as laying out bold
ly and briefly the presidents ideas.
That he will meet with the active
opposition of the protection element
in his own party is evident. and it is
equally evident that he will capture
large republican contingent OF free
traders. The HERALD does not en-
dorse the message by long way,
although it admires not only the
method in which the matter is treated,
but more, the courage of the presi'
dent IN forcing the issue at this time,
Protection, not such as shall build up
monopolies, but such as shall foster
industries and stimulate labor by 9
liberal scale of wages is tie truel
policy. This country is not ready
for it is not able, to compete with
European commodities manufactured
by cheap labor. The issue will bt
fully discussed in due time.

gaining all the advantages for their chill.
dreu that the state offers, and at the same
time will remain loyal 20 their religion. At
the late institute held at st. Cloud, nearly all
the teachers were Catholic, including several
sisters from the Benedictlne convent. who. in
appreciative attention and Interest took a
high rank In the Institute.
The theory of our government is, that the
separation ofchurch aud state is In the inter-
est of each, and that our public school system
is not alien ating. in natural tendency, from
religion any more than loyalty To our gov
ernmeAt implies alienation from the church.
For the removal OF the present eYsis OF in
difference and opposition to good schools,
which Is confined To no single county, am
confident that the remedyis in maintaining
peaceful relations among the people, the
strcter administration of the law in thor
orgh supervision of schools a careful exami-
nation and selection of teachers, and dill
gent use of the ordinary means of improving
public sentiment, as by teachers institutes,
associations, and the public press. With
this will come the product of the good school,
by which we hope 10 prove thatthe commun-
ity which provides the best schools for its
youth, prospers most in all that belongs to
industry and citizenship, and enjoys the
most favorable conditions for q high degrees
Of social and religious culture.

The Smoke Cure.

An intelligent and trustworthy cor
respondent. says the Boston Transcript,
has sent us the following; "The smoke
of wollen rags is cure for the most
dangerous wounds"
A lady of my acquaintance ran a ma
chine needle through her finger. She
could not BIO released til the machine
was taken to pieces. The needle had
broken in her finger in three places,
one of which was bent almost double.
After repeated trials the pieces were ex.
tracted by pieces, but they were very
strongly imbedded. Tho pain reached
to the shoulder, and there was every
danger of lockjaw. The woolle IL rags
were put over the Goals, and she held
her finger over the smoke, and in very
short time all the pain was gone, and
it never returned, though ii was some
little time before the finger healed.
This is one of many instances of such
cures, some Of them taking place after
several days from the time of the
wound. Let woollen rags be kept sa-
credly and always at hand for wounds.
The smoke and stencil will fill the
house. perhaps, but that is triiie when
the alternative is the lockjaw; or even
a long, painful sequel to the wound.
Another instance. was the wound made
by an enraged eat, which tore the flesh
from the wrist to the elbow, and bit
through the fcshy part of the hand.
One ministration of the smoke extract
ed all the pain, which had been fright
full.
